    You are kidding, right?

    Why would they call them "Western Swans"?

    It's more likely to be the Western Bulldogs relocated.

    Until it actually happens I would say that it is best just to refer to a Western Sydney team.

    Sounds like a tactic used by real estate agents to boost house prices.

    Inner west extends to Concord maybe, but not Homebush Bay. Once you hit the M4 you are in the western suburbs as far as I'm concerned.

    You seem to think that a team in Western Sydney has to have a stadium in Blacktown or Penrith. That overlooks the fact that the MCG is not in Collingwood and Telstra Dome is not in St Kilda, and all the rugby league teams who play at Testra Stadium are not based in Homebush Bay. South Sydney wis a case in point.

    Thye Western Bulldogs are based in Footscray, one suburb west of the city, they are in the western suburbs of Melbourne. I would guess that any suburb west of Sydney CBD would realistically be called the western suburbs. After all the measure is where the suburb is in relation to the capital citys CBD.

    Tell that to someone who lives in Glebe, Balmain or Newtown.

    I was thinking about this thread yesterday when someone was talking about Hawthorn and I said I went and watched nearly all their games at York Park. They will never be my second team as I will never forgive them for all those horrible thrashings in the 80's, but I really enjoy going along to those games.
